[mh] Re: Re: Sun_time issue - Resolution

[Jim D. <ji...@du...>]

I just want to report my findings for the next guy ...

I learned I needed a link for /etc/localtime, not /etc/timezone.  I had read 
a bad google post and created a link between /etc/timezone and 
/usr/share/zoneinfo/...

Once I figured that out, and used /etc/localtime, all my times and clocks 
synced up.
